How many neutrons are absorbed in the target


A tiny beryllium target located at the center of a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system is bombarded by six beam of 0.0253-eV neutrons of intensity 3×108 neutrons/cm2-s, each incident along a different axis. How many neutrons are absorbed in the target per cm3 per second assuming the thermal microscopic absorption cross section for Be is 0.010 barns and the mass density is 1.85 g/cm3?
